<p>50.136.94.26: /* Explanation */</p> <hr /> <div>{{comic<br /> | number = 1150<br /> | date = December 21, 2012<br /> | title = Instagram<br /> | image = instagram.png<br /> | titletext = I'm gonna call the cops and get Chad arrested for theft, then move all my stuff to the house across the street. Hopefully the owners there are more responsible.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Explanation==<br /> The comic is in response to {{w|Instagram}}'s change to their {{w|terms of service}} (ToS), allowing the {{w|Facebook}}-owned network to sell user-uploaded images without profit to the content generators. In response, many Instagram users have chosen to either close their accounts or to cease uploading images to the network.<br /> <br /> The title text notes two flaws in the logic of disgruntled Instagram users. You cannot accuse Instagram of stealing because it was you who gave them the images in the first place. And it is irresponsible to assume that this will not happen if you give your photos to another social networking company.<br /> <br /> ==Transcript==<br /> :[Cueball and a friend. Friend is at a computer.]<br /> :Cueball: I've been putting all my stuff in Chad's garage.<br /> :Cueball: He has nice shelves.<br /> :Cueball: And he lets me in to see it whenever I want.<br /> <br /> :But I got this note from him:<br /> :Note: Dude<br /> :Note: In like a month im gonna Craigslist all that shit you left in my garage<br /> :Note: Just FYI<br /> :Note: -Chad<br /> <br /> :Cueball: It's an ''outrage''! This is no way to run a storage business!<br /> :Friend: Are you paying him to look after your stuff?<br /> <br /> :Cueball: No.<br /> :Friend: Then what he runs isn't a storage business.<br /> :Cueball: Well, I'm ''this'' close to not giving him any more stuff<br /> :Friend: That'll teach him.<br /> <br /> {{comic discussion}}<br /> [[Category:Comics featuring Cueball]]</div>
